Paragon - Law Of The Blade (2002)


I haven't been able to find Paragon's fourth album, STEELBOUND, which is the kind of thing that usually annoys me, even if the artist is not one of my favourites. In regards to these Germans, their work has been getting better after an indifferent start and, by now, for release number five, they've got their fast and furious metal down pat, so it's a good listen, but it's still hard to really pick out any particular songs. None are bad, none are great.
Something that I did notice was that the vocals sometimes sound a bit like Iron Savior, and I've now discovered that Piet Sielck has started lending them a hand, which I think includes some back up vocals, so that would explain that.
Certainly, Law Of The Blade is no Condition Red, but the record has enough to be a pleasing listen.
